Today, I'm moving from Arizona to Washington State with my 2 cats in my car. I've only just left and just learned that one cat gets carsick and the other stress farts. Only 956 more miles to go. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I just landed in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, I also took off from Washington, DC an hour ago. FML
Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML
Today, for the first time in about 3 years, I decided to clean my car. It was going really well until I looked down at what I was about to pick up. On the back seat floor lay a dead snake, which at one point, for God knows how long, was living in my car while I unknowingly drove it around. FML
Today, I was going to a Harry Potter convention since I love the books so much. On my drive there I got lost, and it only got worse when my car broke down. Since I'd forgotten my phone, I tried to hitch a ride. I stood on the side of a road for two hours dressed like Ron Weasley. FML
Today, my mom decided to follow me during my driving test. She rear ended me. FML
Today, I had been sick all day, so to cheer me up my dad drove me to get ice cream. On our way back, we hit a puppy. FML
Today, thanks to my new anti-anxiety meds, I am finally no longer agoraphobic. Today also marks 5 weeks of constant diarrhea due to the same meds. Guess who's not leaving the house anytime soon. FML
Today, my family went on vacation. I had to stay home to take care of everyone's animals. I called my mom, who said she was too busy to talk to me. When my sister asked her who was on the phone, she replied, "The dog sitter." FML
Today, I went to my grandmother's house to pick up her cat to take him to the vet. She forgot who I was and sprayed me in the face with pepper spray. FML
Today, I was on a flight coming back home. On my right was a fat monk who was snoring very loudly, and on my left there were two old women who were talking about their teenage love lives in detail. The flight was 17 hours long. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I did a 4 hour with my current pair, the ginger was spayed a bit too young and we think that's given her a weak bladder, any trip over 20 minutes she urinates out of anxiety. Then of course she's wet and hates that. So towel in the carrier for her and she does better. But both she and the calico were not fans of winding roads in Vermont. I've travelled with cats many times, so they hadn't eaten much that day. Some drooling, lots of panting (yeah, cats panting, mouths hanging open and heavy breathing, fish breath smell everywhere) but they calmed down after a while. Being able to see me and each other helped. Also calm mindless chatter in a low tone.

I had one cat who would not only use the bathroom (in both ways) on car rides but would foam out the mouth. It was not pleasant. (He had a traumatic experience that led to him riding in a car while freaked out, so we think it was because of that.

You should train them young to avoid these kinds of horrible situations. I used to have a cat that I could take anywhere because he trusted me completely. He knew that he was safe as long as I was with him. I never needed a carrier because when I was walking, he would just sit on my shoulders and when I was in the car or the train, he would explore a little (but always stay close enough so that he could hear me if I called him) or just curl up and sleep. I really miss that little bastard. :'(
